    Gotta be a Rangers supporter,haha.Nobody in America had ever heard of Lacey before the Calzaghe fight.Nobody.The only people hyping Lacey up were those who were trying to sell the fight(promoters,network,etc.),thereby making money over it.By the way,what was(were) Lacey's great victory(ies) going into Calzaghe anyway?

    Embellish much?

    If I recall this forum was split both ways almost exactly down the middle, and personally I was one of the many who said that Lacy was neither experienced enough nor talented enough to head to Wales and win a big fight over there.

    Yes. Johnson was far too predictable to ever have a chance of beating Joe Calzaghe.

    Lacy spelt LACY was the next Mike Tyson. All the ESB members knew that because 90% of the board,mainly American,were proclaiming him the next boxing superstar until JC derailed him. :D

    You don`t remember it being a 50/50 call for the outcome of the fight like Axe is suggesting then? :D

    oh brother, i remember coming on here i think spring of 07 and calling calzaghe a ***** for faking another hand injury to avoid the monster that was lacy.

    this forum was lacy mania. marvin hagler put him in his top 10 p4p! **** we were wrong

    Axe seems to think the call at the time was 50/50 although he may have just now disappeared. :D

    well, to each his own but yeah i remember it being pretty anti-calzaghe. and i'll be the first to admit part of it was ignorance: calzaghe was another ottke to a lot of us. we didn't know him and couldn't be bothered to get to know him. watch a highlight reel, check out boxrec and make our pick. i don't think much of calzaghe now all time but i've a lot more respect for him and his accomplishments now that i did then for sure.
